Chapter 6: Joy of the Dragon Wood
The consignment center is actually not as resource-scarce as Chen Ye imagined.
Everyone who crosses through here has a unique advantage.
Deep in the mountains and dense forests, you can obtain a wide range of wood resources.
Wood can be used to build safe houses, make furniture, and make fuel, including charcoal.
If you are in the desert Gobi, you can get endless sand and stone resources.
Sand and stone can be used to make glass-based furniture or lime mortar for safe houses.
People in glaciers and snowfields have precious freshwater resources.
If you can't find a stable source of fresh water to survive in the wild, no matter how strong you start the game, you will end up with a dead end.
Although Chen Ye is on an isolated island surrounded by the sea, his luck is actually not bad.
Because there was a storm on the first day.
When the storm waned, he could go outside and set up a few barrels to collect the rainwater.
The world does not have all the air pollution caused by urban industrialization, so the rain is relatively clean.
At least it's much cleaner than the ice that has been dug out of the glacier.
Who knows if there will be an ancient virus in the ice cubes.
When I think of the mutated man before, I can't help but feel worried.
I don't know how long time has passed, Chen Ye is sitting in the living room where he can't see his fingers, still flipping through the goods in the consignment center.
He wanted to buy some charcoal made by the local method.
Because charcoal burns longer than ordinary wood, the burning efficiency is higher.
But after searching carefully for a long time, Chen Ye found that the price of charcoal was generally ridiculously high.
To be reasonable, it is not difficult to produce carbon in the soil method.
But after some inquiry, even if it is the cheapest seller, a half-catty canned beef can only be exchanged for ten catties of charcoal.
Now there are only four cans of braised beef left in my hand.
As a hard currency in the last days, even if he eats it himself, he is not willing to use it to pay the IQ tax.
After working for a long time, Chen Ye gave up the idea of looking for a fire tool.
Since you can't take the initiative to attack, let's throw bricks and lead the way.
He immediately took out some crocodile shark meat and put it on the shelves of the consignment center.
In the apocalypse, food is more popular than anything else!
[Consignment product: Megalodon shark meat]
[Product details: non-toxic and pollution-free edible fresh meat, weighing about one catty]
[Exchange needs: flint, velvet, all tools that can make fire, specific can be privately chatted]
In Chen Ye's impression, flint and velvet are two things necessary for outdoor survival.
The flint and steel will not be affected by natural environments such as high winds, heavy rain, low temperatures, high altitudes, etc.
It works better than a windproof lighter at critical moments.
And it doesn't require additional fuel and can be reused thousands of times.
Velvet is made from the fleece cotton of certain plants and only needs a little spark to ignite.
Of course, he didn't expect anyone to actually come up with these two things in exchange.
As long as there are similar fire-making tools, you are already satisfied.
Since the consignment center is filled with items every minute.
So when the crocodile shark meat was first put on the table, no one cared.
But just a few minutes later, the number of visits to the product skyrocketed in thousands.
In the functional interface of the consignment center, a large number of private messages poured out, which caught Chen Ye off guard.
Unfortunately, most of the messages have nothing to do with the content of the transaction.
"Dude, you're too good, right, you killed a strange beast on the first day, can you teach you some experience?" ”
"Is the big guy here, I'm a student, I don't have any resources in my hand, can you give me two yuan?" ”
"What kind of bullshit crocodile shark meat, it's fake when you hear the name, there won't really be a fool, right?" ”
"I have hundreds of billions of assets in Swiss banks, you just need to send me some meat every day, and when I find a way to return to Blue Star, I will immediately transfer 100 million to you!" ”
"Coming north, why do you have meat to eat at the beginning, little brother, can I exchange pineapples and bananas with you?" ”
……
Chen Ye held back the anger in his heart, clenched his fists and chose for a long time, and finally saw a reliable buyer.
[Xiao Yan]: "I have flint and steel here, and it is natural flint, and there are a lot of sparks when you scrape iron tools such as daggers." ”
Chen Ye didn't have any iron tools in his hands, but there were some iron ore in the storage space, which should have a similar effect.
He immediately replied, "Do you have any flouts like velvet there?" ”
[Xiao Yan]: "Yes, I found some oil-rich bark, rub it, and a little spark can ignite it!" ”
Chen Ye thought for a while, and then said tentatively: "How much flint and bark can that pound of crocodile shark meat be exchanged for?" ”
[Xiao Yan]: "I can give you a fist-sized piece of complete flint, and about half a meter long and palm-wide bark." ”
Flint is actually flint, but it is not as efficient as man-made.
But it's already good to have someone change it, and what else do you need a bicycle.
As for the bark used to ignite, Chen Ye probably made a gesture in his heart.
As long as the fire in the fireplace is not extinguished often, these barks can be used for a long time.
Chen Ye was not a person of ink, and felt that the value of the exchange was almost equal, so he readily agreed to the transaction.
"Okay, you can just put things in the swap bar."
[Xiao Yan]: "Brother, wait a minute, you should have a lot of crocodile shark meat there, can you give me a few more pieces?" ”
Chen Ye was stunned for a moment, and immediately became angry from the bottom of his heart.
This business is not authentic, where is there a temporary price increase?
He was about to spray, but he didn't expect the other party to send two more sentences:
[Xiao Yan]: "I'm not prostituting in vain, I can give you another ten catties of oil-rich twig wood, these woods are burning with a prosperous fire, and they burn for a long time, which is definitely better than ordinary wood!" ”
[Xiao Yan]: "I personally tested it, a pound of wood burned for almost half an afternoon, not five hours, but at least four hours. ”
Chen Ye's eyes were quick, and he immediately canceled the real-time voice transmission in his brain.
If the other side replies a little slower, the business is estimated to be yellow.
Chen Ye originally wanted to consume the logs in the storage space, make some tables, chairs and benches, and then forcibly smash them as firewood.
Now that there is a special fuel, it just saves a lot of trouble.
On the other side, Xiao Yan was hiding in a cave on a high slope at the moment, and his face could not hide his excitement.
He also had a large bundle of wood with grease, and the weight was a hundred pounds.
If you can take this opportunity to exchange some more raw meat, then the next few days will be over, and you will no longer have to risk searching for food.
However, as the news prompt from the consignment center sounded, Xiao Yan's expression changed from excitement to shock.
[Chen Ye]: "I see that you are also a cheerful person, then okay, I will give you fifty catties of crocodile shark meat, in exchange for one hundred catties of oily wood, and you should make a friend!" ”
A hundred pounds?
directly hollowed out his family!
Xiao Yan looked at this reply, so frightened that he didn't even dare to come out.
What is the origin of this seller, it is fifty catties of fresh meat!
Could it be that the creature called the alligator shark is very large?
If a human can subdue such a monster, how terrifying must that person's strength be?
The more Xiao Yan thought about it, the more scared she became.
He swallowed his saliva and pondered for a moment before daring to reply to the message.
[Xiao Yan]: Thank you, big brother, I'll give you one!
[Xiao Yan]: In the future, if you need wood fuel, just come to me, I will give you a 20% discount, no, 5% discount!
Chen Ye actually wanted to change more, after all, there was so much meat in the warehouse, and it really couldn't be stored for a few days.
But he was afraid of scaring the other side, and he was also worried that leaking too much wealth would lead to fire and cause some unnecessary trouble, so he restrained himself a little.
With the completion of the transaction between the two parties, a large bundle of red wood was received in the goods exchange bar of the consignment center in an instant.
But because the storage space was not enough, Chen Ye could only pile up all the wood in the living room.
However, instead of lighting a fire immediately, he focused his gaze on the entire bundle of wood.
System description that appears in front of you:
【Deciduous tree: red birch】
[The wood is soft and light, the whole body is bright red, and the branches are rich in fragrant oil, which makes the wood very flammable]
[Consumes 3 Survival Points to strengthen Red Birch]
"Strengthen!"
As the light of the holographic projection fell, the bundled wood suddenly more than doubled.
The vines that served as ropes snapped on the spot, and dozens of pieces of wood slammed against the walls with a crisp sound one after another.
Looking closely, the wood of the red birch has changed from the bright red color to a dark red.
Although it does not have the same rich aroma as it used to be, the wood has become much heavier and has an unusually hard texture.
【Alienated Arbor: Fire Dragon Wood】
[Due to the influence of natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and debris flows, the red birch forest is buried in the soil, and it is formed after thousands of years of slow carbonization under the combined action of oxygen, high pressure, and microorganisms]
[The wood is dense and hard, rich in gum oil, and is very easy to deflagrate]
[When burning, the flame is as thick as a pillar, hence the name dragon wood]
After reading the introduction of the system, Chen Ye was very happy in his heart.
He took out the red birch bark he had traded, tore off a small piece, and vigorously kneaded it into a coarse mass of fibers.
A strong aroma came to my nose, and a layer of slippery grease stuck to my hands.
Chen Ye put the bark into the fireplace, took out the iron ore and flint and struck each other.
The sputtered sparks quickly ignited the bark of the tree.
He immediately put in a few pieces of fire dragon wood, and the flames quickly spread to the surface of the wood, and with a crackling sound, the crimson flames rushed up.
When the wood burns, instead of producing a choking smoke, it diffuses a unique fragrance.
In addition, the temperature generated by the flame is also stable, and the combustion efficiency is even higher than expected.
If the previous red birch wood could last for four hours, it is estimated that the wood will last for more than two hours.
If it weren't for the higher cost of enhancements, you could really reserve more in case you need them.
